Yesterday the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar announced that all schools and colleges are closed today and will remain closed until March 29th.
The Taoiseach also said that where possible you should work from home... so that's what I'm doing, and I have to say, it's pretty sweet!
I'm writing this article while sitting on my bed in my pyjamas with a cup of tea beside me and the worst bed head you ever did see. This got me thinking: there are some positives that go along with this whole pandemic, whether that be the fact you get to sleep in, you can wear your PJ's while doing work or just scrolling on twitter to see what other people are saying!
I've decided to share some with you, enjoy!
Number 1: THIS IS YOUR OFFICE!
Number 2: You don't have to deal with that co worker you don't like.
Number 3: Limited dealings with customers.
Number 4: The tweets from Irish people.
This mam deserves so many medals

A different way of looking at things
COVID spelt backwards is DIVOC and what DIVOC going on

Oh I feel this on a personal level
Not even 24 hrs into lockdown and I’m starting to think one person in my house will die by the 29th but it won’t be because of corona #IrelandLockdown

Number 5: No one can give out to you for not wanting to go outside.
Number 6: Dogs can't get coronavirus!!!
So there you go, already that's 6 positives that I can think of. If I've forgotten anymore then let me know! In the mean time, wash your hands, stay safe and listen to Beat for tunes, craic and updates!
